<p>Hi all!  I'm Chris, a new Rustacean with a background in Python/font formats/ the OpenType specification/font rasterization environments.  I am an avid free software contributor and am looking for areas where I can pitch in on rustlang.  I came across <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2019/12/18/bisecting-rust-compiler.html" target="_blank" title="https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2019/12/18/bisecting-rust-compiler.html">Santiago's post on bisecting Rust compiler regressions</a> and joined the Cleanup Crew today.  I also reached out to Katharina about the CLI wg which is an area of interest.  Let me know how I can be of help! (Discord: csimpkins#9268 | GitHub: chrissimpkins)</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="262810">@Chris Simpkins</span> unsure what are you interested in but if what interest you is the compiler I'd recommend checking out all the efforts and working groups around and try to talk to the leaders on how you could help in those efforts. Start looking here <a href="https://rust-lang.github.io/compiler-team/" target="_blank" title="https://rust-lang.github.io/compiler-team/">https://rust-lang.github.io/compiler-team/</a></p>

<p>there you will find meetings, working group streams, names of people, etc that would give you a better idea on where to ask</p>

<p>Just read <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2019/10/28/rustc-learning-working-group-introduction.html" target="_blank" title="https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2019/10/28/rustc-learning-working-group-introduction.html">https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2019/10/28/rustc-learning-working-group-introduction.html</a></p>

<p>...this group organically became an attractive place for beginners, who would benefit from documenting the compiler internals, while learning those parts of it at the same time. This benefits the entire compiler team by giving the documentation a perspective from the new contributors.</p>

<p>This sounds perfect.  Count me in.  Post an intro in <a class="stream" data-stream-id="196385" href="/#narrow/stream/196385-t-compiler.2Fwg-learning">#t-compiler/wg-learning</a>?</p>
